Rosenberry's bracket


Here's a quick look at the PIAA Class AAA bracket for Thursday's state tournament at the Giant Center in Hershey.

E-town's Shane Rosenberry, above, is the only E-town wrestler in the tourney, so here's what he has waiting for him in the 189-pound bracket.

Rosenberry is the third seed from District Three (or the South-Central region according to the PIAA). In the first round, he'll take on the No. 1 seed from the North-West region, Pittsburgh-Osceola's Bo Reifer. Reifer is a senior and currenly sports a 37-3 record. Rosenberry, a junior, has a 38-5 record.

Should he win his first match, Rosenberry will get the winner between Lower Merion senior Anthony Fulginitti (34-1) and Hempfield Area senior TJ Valore (33-5). Fulginitti is the overall top seed in the bracket. Nobody said states is easy. Sheesh, what a tough draw.

Warwick's Antonio Giorgio is also in the bracket. He is a perfect 43-0 this year and will get Neshaminy's Joe Stemme (25-11), the fourth seed from the South-East region, in the first round. If Giorgio wins, he could very well get a shot at defending state champ Nate Eachus from Hazleton in the second round. Eachus won last year as a junior and is currently 33-6 and the second seed from the North-East region.

Should be interesting Thursday. You can see the complete AA and AAA brackets here: http://www.wjpa.com/wrestling.htm.
